[Occupymendocino] If Warren won't run, we need Bernie.

[Ruby Gold]

Dear MS Rosser

I repeat, your accusations against Bernie Sanders are very serious. But 
where's the proof.
I tried to see if what you are claiming is true - but alas I cannot.

1 - I watched the video and heard only a rude, aggressive man ask the 
question, Are you going to arrest me?" Sanders' answer was, "No I do 
not want to arrest anyone." And he did not in fact arrest anyone. There 
is no evidence that BS ever arrested anyone.

How about naming your friends and having them offer some proof if there 
is any.

2 - I watched the video and read the little blurb at the bottom. How 
distorting. BS was frustrated and angry wanting to answer the question 
that was asked of him and the same rude aggressive people were 
screaming and refusing to let him finish his answer.

3 - This video does not give me any insight into Sanders - rather what 
ever insight I do have comes from his decades and decades of service to 
people and his refusing to be bought out by corporate/Wall Street and 
his voting right along with and true his convictions.

4 - Your post and the video do, however, give me insight into you.

5 - If you don't like the man and his progressive agenda - don't vote 
for him - but please do not use the list serve to lob unsubstantiated 
accusations against someone - anyone. This is the last thing we need.
